Sport Event Grants

The Cowichan Valley Regional District plays a vital role in promoting sports in the Cowichan Region, as evidenced by involvement in major events including 2008 North American Indigenous Games, National Aboriginal Hockey, Hometown Hockey and the Cowichan 2018 BC Summer Games.

In 2016, the CVRD introduced several Sport Tourism initiatives committed to providing sports organizations with resources and support. These include a comprehensive website, databases of facilities, clubs and contacts, an events calendar, an inventory of event hosting equipment, and the Sport Tourism hosting booklet – all for use at no charge.

In 2018, the CVRD Board approved providing up to $30,000 in grants to individual sports organizations and businesses to enhance sport event activity in the region.
